IMPROVEMENT IN CULINARYAPPARATUS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 180,317, dated July 25,1876; application filed April 29, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMEs' WYE'rr J OHN- SON,'Of Oandor, in the countyof Tioga and State of New York, have invented a new and valuableImprovement in a Water-Tank and Oven Combined 5 and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description of theconstruction and operation of the same, reference being had to theannexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to theletters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawingsis a representa tion of a side elevation of mywater-tank and oven; and Fig. 2 is a vertical central section thereof.

This invention has relation to a culinary apparatus, which is applicableto cookingstoves, and which is designed to be used on the top of astove, on one of the pot-holes thereof; and the nature of my inventionconsists in a cylindrical vessel, in which are two chambers, one ofwhich is designed to contain 'water, and the other is provided with avalve The invention further consists in providing the hinged cover ofmyculinary apparatus with a globular condenser, in which is a tubularvalve, as will be hereinafter explained.

In the annexed drawings, A designates the body of my improved culinaryapparatus, which is preferably constructed of acylindrical form, thebottom of which is adapted for the pot-hole of a common cooking-stove,or for a base-burner. B designates a waterchamber, and G aheating-chamber, formed by dividing the body A as designated by thediaphra-gms a, as represented in Fig. 2. The water-chamber B is providedwith a drawotf cock, E, and is in communication with a chamber, F, whichextends over the heatingchamber 0. At the base of the heating-chamber Ois a valve, D, which can be opened or closed by means of a crank-handle,b, and which, when it is in a horizontal position, rests upon a flan ge,c. This heating-chamber is accessible through an opening which is closedby a door, G.

In practice, I shall construct the flange c with a surface whichinclines downward and inward, for the purpose of preventing lodgmentofcoal while feeding the stove.

My invention is especially applicable to base-burnin g stoves, theapparatus being applied at the upper end of the magazine, which issupplied with coal through the bottom of the heating-chamber 0 when thevalve D is open. The top of the cylinder A is closed by a hinged cover,11, which is provided with a steam-vent, d, having a perforatedadjustable cap, e,-for regulating the exit of steam. Ir designates aglobular condenser, which is in communication with the water-chamber B,

and which is provided with a valve, f, for the purpose of allowing steamto escape when there is an excess of pressure in the waterchamber. Thisvalve f will allow the water of condensation to return into thewater-chamber B.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of a water-tank and oven, composed of the cylindricalbody A, and chambers B O, the chamber G having valve D at its base, andadoor, Gr, substantially as described.

2. In the culinary vessel herein described, the hinged cover H, providedwith a condenser, L, containing a valve, f, for the purpose explained. i

In testimony thatI claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name inthe presence of two witnesses.

JAMES WYETT JOHNSON.
